Philip Kaufman. Co-creator of Indiana Jones. Writer of The Outlaw Josey (I almost typed Jose—that would have been a very different film) Wales. Director of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), The Right Stuff, The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Directed Twisted in 2004. This movie is STACKED with talent. Ashley Judd, Andy Garcia, Samuel L. Jackson. All of the supporting roles are filled with excellent character actors like Titus Welliver and David Straitharn. YET... I have more respect for Birdemic than this movie. They tried with Birdemic and at least made a minimally minor cult classic. This movie DOES NOT try and it is JAW-DROPPINGLY TERRIBLE. It is as if someone decided to make a Se7en-style rip-off TV movie for Spike TV with the best actors and worst script ever. It is a movie that made all the critics comment (On RT’s page about this movie, which gives it a critical approval rating of 1%) that they can’t believe this movie is from the same man who made The RIght Stuff (it also got an audience approval rating of 31%). It is terrible. It is hilarious. It is amazing. It makes Lawrence Kasdan’s adaptation of Dreamcatcher look good. It is currently streaming on HBO. here is the preview: this would make a great episode, but be prepared to have your minds blown. BY CLICHES.
